QUESTION NO.9

QUESTION: Councillor B. Lawlor

What is the cleansing schedule for the newly installed cycle lanes in our area and has a contract with Oxegen been signed to manage this?

 

REPLY:

The road sweeping contract in place with Oxigen Environmental Ltd includes for the sweeping of cycle lanes which form part of the road carriageway, and also those which adjoin the footpath but are not on the road carriageway.  The newly constructed cycle track at Wellington Lane is included in the programme for monthly sweeping, it has been swept in September and will be swept again in the coming days.  The new cycle lane is too narrow in some places to allow the road sweeper pass and this has resulted in the contractor changing the method of sweeping used at this location.  An extra small mini-sweeper is being arranged on hire for a trial period in an effort to find the optimum solution to this problem, however in any event the sweeping service will continue to be provided at this location and on any other new cycle tracks which are provided.
